Antorcha día final

As part of the last day of route in Lima, the Parapan American Torch will pass through five districts on Friday and leave its final flashing lights before lighting the cauldron at the National Stadium, at 19:00.

In the first section, the Flame will cross Av. Manuel Olguín and Av. Javier Prado towards the Vía Express, and then turn down the Bajada Armendáriz. At this point, it will enter the Beach Circuit through a section of the Lima coast, including the districts of Miraflores, San Isidro, Magdalena and San Miguel.

In the second section, the Pan American caravan will take the Av. Costanera towards the Constitutional Province of Callao, passing through the Óvalo de Guardia Chalaca to the delight of people in Callao. Then, the caravan will take Jirón Vigil towards the Av. Miguel Grau and then to the Óvalo Saloom.

Afterwards, it will go through the Av. La Marina towards Av. Insurgentes, Precursores, La Mar and Riva Agüero to reach the emblematic local zoo “Parque de las Leyendas,” where a celebration will take place to end the Parapan American torch route. This will be considered a milestone in the history of the “City of Kings.”
